It is much easier than it sounds. We tried the wind turbine approach with capacitors, rectifiers and solar grid tied inverters. It works well with good energy yields, however, you require many failsafes to prevent damage to your equipment. Also a more expensive method with multiple components...

@Tom.G Off-the-shelf solutions are a bit pricey in my area, especially considering that we only have about 4 months of sufficient rainfall to keep the turbine running, so ROI would take a while! @Rive I was thinking that a VFD could be used to bump up the frequency of the AC, prior to...

Hi looking, I've read your post about feeding excess generated AC back to the grid using a solar grid tie inverter. I found it very interesting and similiar to what I am planning to do myself. Our irrigation ponds overflow during the winter causing soil erosion, so we installed a 160mm pipe...

Hello everyone, We’ve successfully managed to beat load shedding (ie. planned power outages) during the summer months on our farm in South Africa. Our setup includes: 8 Deye hybrid 12 kW 3-phase inverters 48 Shoto SDC-10 Box 5 batteries 1 x 10 kW and 2 x 20 kW grid-tie inverters feeding...
